Silver lining for Jones as Olympic hopeful Jade clinches second at Taekwondo World Championships

British teenager Jade Jones claimed silver at the Taekwondo World Championships in South Korea, while Liverpool's Martin Stamper collected bronze.

Jones, the 18-year-old London 2012 hopeful, beat Marlene Harnois in her semi-final to set up a shot at gold in the under-57kgs, but lost to China's reigning world champion Hou Yuzhuo on sudden death score.
